American House

The image depicts a painting of a large, two-story building named "AMERICAN HOUSE," rendered in soft, muted tones. The architecture features a prominent front porch with white railings and several large windows, some of which reflect a bright light, suggesting an interior illumination. The setting appears to be either during dawn or dusk, as indicated by the sky's gradient shades from golden yellow to a tranquil blue. Surrounding the building, the landscape gently rolls, and bare trees suggest a cold, possibly winter season, enhancing the isolated and serene mood of the scene. The painting is signed at the bottom left corner with the name Kira Iovine.
